JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has extended the detention period for former Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles. He is a suspect in the alleged corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019.

The detention was extended for 30 days from 26 July to 24 August. Yoory was detained at the KPK Rutan, Pomdam Jaya Guntur Branch.

"The YRC suspect has been detained by the investigative team based on the detention decision from the Head of the Central Jakarta District Court", KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, told reporters, Friday, July 23.

Investigators need to extend Yoory's detention because they are still investigating the alleged crime he committed with other suspects. Including calling several witnesses who know his actions.

"The filing of the YRC suspect case is still being completed by the investigative team, including the summoning of witnesses", said Ali.

Previously, the KPK named four suspects in this case, namely Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo, Tommy Adrian, and Anja Runtuwene, former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Corneles, and Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM) Rudy Hartono Iskandar.

In addition, the KPK has also named PT Adonara Propertindo as a suspect in corporate corruption.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, was looking for land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank.

Furthermore, the Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya collaborated with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.

From this collaboration, on April 8, 2019, it was agreed to sign the Binding of the Sale and Purchase Agreement Deed before a notary which took place at the Perumda Sarana Jaya office. This signature was carried out between the buyers, namely Yoory and Anja Runtuwene.

At the same time, a payment of 50 percent or around IDR 108.9 billion was made to Anja's bank account at Bank DKI. Next, on Yoory's orders, the payment was made in the amount of IDR 43.5 billion.

However, in the land acquisition process, Perumda Sarana Jaya is suspected of committing fraudulent actions such as not conducting a study on the feasibility of the land object and not conducting an appraisal study without being supported by the completeness of the requirements according to the relevant regulations.

In addition, this BUMD (Regionally-Owned Enterprises) company is also strongly suspected of carrying out the process and stages of land acquisition not according to procedures and there are documents that are prepared in a backdate, as well as an initial price agreement between Anja and Perumda Sarana Jaya before the negotiation process is carried out.
